First mention of the number of horses committed
to the run. Note that it needed two drivers.

The fire was quite serious involving a defective flue. It necessitated
cutting away the panelling which is quite normal to gain access
to the flues construction.

Today building construction regulations, enforced by building
control department of the local authority, mitigate against this
type of fire but are still not unknown especially in older buildings.
Sometimes many years after construction the cement rendering spalls
from the flue and leaves joist ends exposed.
